THREE STARS AND THE SUN
A BLAZING RED AND A CALMING BLUE
DECADES BLEED INTO CENTURIES
A NATION OF CRUEL PAST
AND HOPEFUL FUTURE
STANDING STRAIGHT, BACK ALIGNED, HEAD HELD HIGH
HANDS ON OUR HEART, WE HOPE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
HAVE WE TRULY ESCAPED THE HORRORS OF YESTERDAY?
OR ARE WE FACING A REINCARNATED MONSTER OF TODAY?
WE PLEAD ALLEGIANCE TO A DYING LAND
DO WE DESIRE FREEDOM?
DO WE DESIRE A CALM SEA?
DO WE STAND FOR THE SOIL OF OUR BIRTH?
WE DO, BUT WE DO NOT WANT TO TIRE OURSELVES.
WHAT IS IT TO ME IF WE BURN TO ASHES?
LIFE IS THE GREATEST GIFT
DEATH IS THE TRUTH WE DO NOT WISH TO FACE
BUT EVEN A DYING BREATH CAN BE SWEET IF WE GO DOWN FIGHTING
SWORDS RAISED, A SHIELD OF LOYALTY
"MOTHERLAND CALLS FOR ITS WARRIORS!"
IF WE WISH TO LIVE OUT OUR DAYS
WE MUST BRACE OURSELVES
GATHER UP WEAPONS, POLISH IT TO DEADLY SHARPNESS
FREEDOM COMES WITH A PRICE
IT IS ONE WE MUST PAY
